(Reminder: If you choose to use scientific notation to enter your answer, use the form 5E-4 to indicate 5 x 10-4) (b) What is the sound intensity at night? (c) What is the average late-night sound level?

A) Find intensity by using B= 10 X log (I/10^-12) formula
B) Take the answer for A multiply it by the number that it gives you for the new amount of cars that pass. Divide that number by your 172.
